David RMac, I don't have an extra. Sorry. I only have an extra on P2
To answer your June 30 post, I had to keep buying many copies of NSU to get one.

mac13It's really frustrating. I've bought a dozen copies of the magazine and still haven't found a P5.

David RBelieve me, I totally feel your pain
I hope that Crypto doesn't keep doing this with their promos in future NSUs, namely, having 5 or 6 different promos in each issue, which you have to chase after
To be honest, I was not happy a few months ago where they had different Hobbit, Walking Dead and Outlander promos where you had to buy multiple copies to get.

scspursHopefully Mac has located a P5 by now. I am also looking for one if anyone has a spare available. I have no problem with Cryptozoic drip feeding this set on to the market the way they have but it is seriously frustrating when a single card issued in NSU is seemingly printed in such short numbers it feels like your searching for the Holy Grail. How many people will eventually have the other 43 cards but still be looking for this D7-P5 to complete the set!

David RHere is the only one I have ever seen on ebay, which ended 8 months ago
He actually had 3 of them, but all gone now

Tommy CAnd there were 9 new cards at the 2016 SDCC, so does this mean that there are 26 total so far ?
9 chase cards in the 2015 DC Villains set
9 from SDCC
6 NSU promos
2 regular promos (P2, P3)
February 15, 2017, 06:50 PM
Tommy CThere were 9 more in the 2016 Justice League set, so I guess we are up to 35 cards now
You don't seem to see many of the 1 per box 2015 DC Villains Batman cards around...

scspursThanks David, seeing how Mac purchased 12 copies and did not get a P5 you wonder how that eBay seller managed to get his hands on three, if from the magazine he/she certainly beat the odds. Unfortunately I had not started collecting this set at thetime these three were listed.
That's right Tommy, 35 now released, perhaps the remaining 9 could well be in a forthcomimg Cryptozoic release. The cards from Batman Super Villains are tough to find now , I have only got two myself so far. It is just that I find the NSU P5 card really frustrating. Plenty of the other NSU cards have sold on eBay and I guess virtually all of these buyers will be looking for the P5 as well. Of course we will never know just how many were printed but there seems to be way more collectors of this set than there are P5 cards. I get the thrill of the chase but this card seems way too elusive considering it is one of a 44 card set!

David RRegarding the P5, maybe you can contact Beckett ? Just a thought.
On the 2015 DC Villains, I agree with Tommy. Just looking around at the auctions, I saw a complete set of 9 sell for $ 100, and then just 2 singles. I guess at 1 per box, they are all gone now
There are a few Justice League sets of 9 available

bluegillI need all promos from set. My NSU did not have any in there.
April 24, 2017, 11:30 PM
cardscout182just checking, was this a batman promo in the latest NSU vol 28 #2 ?
April 25, 2017, 09:57 AM
Tommy CThey came in the issue released a year ago, spring 2016
June 16, 2017, 05:51 PM
Tommy CMore than a year later, I have not seen a P5 appear on ebay since May 2016
However, recent searches show that in the past few months, P1, P2, P3, P4 have all appeared
Curiously, no recent P6 promos...
June 17, 2017, 02:18 AM
hammerI'm glad to say I have managed to get all 6

June 26, 2017, 12:46 PM
David RHammer, how were you able to find P5 ?
I have one, but didn't get it from ebay or from a copy of NSU. Someone sent me one, however.
June 28, 2017, 11:38 AM
hammerI got mine from a US friend who managed to get 2 in the NSU's they purchased
April 11, 2019, 04:05 PM
Tommy CAre people still looking for the P5 promo on this set from 2016 ?
I wonder how many have shown up on ebay over the past few years
For reasons unknown, P1 to P4 and P6 are always on ebay, but never P5.
May 09, 2019, 03:41 PM
Tommy CI came across a website where some die hard Batman collector from the UK is still looking for the P5 promo, 3 years after the release
He posted that he's offering $ 125 dollars for one ! So far, no one has one to sell him
May 09, 2019, 04:22 PM
WillThere is a P5 currently listed on the auction site, but I cannot justify paying $150 for this card.
